WAsHISaToE, March 4th, 1887.
Ere this letter reaches you the
Forty-Ninth Congress will have ex-
plred, and | had as well write It's
obituary a few hours In advance of
Its demise.
Many rcrilicisms and slurs and
fIngs have been lsveIed at IL during
the two brief years OF It's existence,
and many attempts have been made
to show that II has an unworthy
record. But as a matter OF fact II
makes a much better showing than
any recent Congress has done, espe-
cialIy when II Is remembered that It
was Democratic In Quo branch and
Republican In the other, aud conse-
quently unequIpped for harmonious
and rapid progress.
One reason that IL was constantly
derlded and Ieviled as failure was
because extravagant promises were
made for II and more was expected
than could be accomplished, where
one House was under the control Of a
vigorous AID alert opposition. The
Forty-Seventh Congress was Repnb-
!icaD in both branches, aud vet II did
nothing that Is worthy OF men,ior,
while the little that Il did was done
very badly.
The Forty-Ninth has enacted a
law providing for the PresideniIal
succession /; law for silver certIfi-
Gates law reducing the fse for
money orders law furfeiting un-
earned land grants and restor Dg
about seveDty-tive million acres 10
the public domain open for actual set
tiers pa law in the interest Of the
merchant marine +; a law providing
for valuable addition TO the Navy !,
law for National Library law
alloting lands In severalty 10 the In-
djsns ; the Interstate Commerce law;
law establishing arbitration In labor
controversies aud 1t has redeemed
trade dollars and extended the FREQ
delivery system.
While there Is Iifethere Is hope, and
while I am writing the Forty-Ninth
session has three more hours 10 live.
1t Is frantic Ia It's efforts to make the
most OF this brief period Of grace, ,snd
bills are rushing through rapidly. II
Is hoped and expected that among
them will be the one changing Inau
guralion day from the bleak, windy
4th Of March to the soft balmy day
that the 30th of April brings. At thi'
moment the reform measure has no
| passed.
There have been night sessions ir
be tn ends OF the Capitol during the
week and lively scenes have occurred
In tho House through the wild effort
Of pembers wanting little bill

r. Savage, who died November 9th
1856, eyed so years, months and
days.
Now our homes are filled with mourning
Sorrow sits on every brow,
For kind and aged mother
We il mock submission bow.
She has watched us up from childhood
With doting mothers eye.
Here hor vigilsnce has ended
knd she keeus us from the sky.
Every day we miss our mother,
In the morning, noon, at night,
Though hearts are filled with sadness,
Yet We fell hor home Il bright.
Safe within the courts Of heaven,
Where the aged ind their rest.
Has Cur loyiag mother iourneyed,
Aad Is numbered with the blest.
Patiently she bore life's burdens,
And her share was not faw,
But she laid them down forever
And began her life anew.
Yes began her life with angels.
And the loved ones gone before,
In that beautious house eternal,
They will dwell forever more.
We shall never more behold her,
Till onr new eia is begun.
When this mortal ia immortal,
Far above tho MONDAY sun.
In that epoch we shall meet hor
Face TO face and hand Ia hand,
When like her we've gained the shore
OF the holy serephs land.

Near sighted passengers who want to
read their newspapers coming down on the
early morning trains have a hard time If
they can't get seats on the east side Of the
car, said d Third avenue elevated guard.
Sitting on the west side of the car each
station throws such shadow that the
near sighted readers are interrupted every
time we stop. 1t is Just the other way on
the late afternoon trains going up Then
all the near sighted passengers want to
get on the west side of the cars On the
other side the station shadows then keep
punctuating the articles 50 that passen-
gers will fidget around until it is really
painful. Near sighted people are always
nervous and irritable anyway, You
know. I've watched them on the early
morning trains and late afternoon trains
fume and swear because they were
crowded into the wrong side for their
reading. They seem to see well enough
when seat across the car is empty,
though, and the way they dive for it
would do credit to professional swim

GROWTH OF A BIG Book. When Web
ster's Unabridged was first published in
one volume, If was a comparatively
small book. Some years after an adj
dition was made Of I5oo. Pictorial illus
trations, a Table Of aynonyms, and an
Appendix of New Words, that had come
into use. a few years later came an en-
tirely new revised edition of larger size,
with 5000 Pictorial Illustrations, then,
after interval of a few years, a Biograph
ical Dictionary of nearly 10000 Names
and Supplement of nearly 5000 New
Words were added, and there has come
a new and most valuable addition, A
Gazetteer of the World, of over Is, 900
Titles. The work is now not only the
Dictionary, par excellence, but Bio
graphical Dictionary, Gazetteer ofthe
World, and great many other good
things in its many valuable Tables.

A summer,s Day.

First morning rose yelled in q robe of mist
With cloudy vestments by the sun kissed
Her clingng garments shaken by the breeze
That wanton rustled through the murmuring trees.
At length by dint of wind and growingsun,
She stands confessed before and uLdone-
type of perfect beauty that too
Fading away gives place to glorious Noon,
Who, like Eastern beauty. richly drest
In gorgeous colors brave with jeweled breast,
Stands boldly forth to challenge wondering gaze
Glowing with beauty and all ablaze
With dazzling splendor of the full blown day
Der which the sun has cast his golden spray.
The dying sun had slowly sunk to rest
And clouds of glory faded in the west
When Evening glided by in shadowy guise,
But pausing, hesitates, and with soft eyes,
Dumbly implores a moment of reprieve
Then, that denied. she, grieving, takes her leaves
Yet fingers long. much losth to go.
With many backward glance. retiring slow.
She with her going brings in sombre Night,
Whose dusky garments, fecked with points of light
Shroud from gaze the dark-browed shadow queen
Who, with enchanted wand, blots out each scene
Late spread before us, casting all
Her boundless. softly falling, ebon pail;
With downcast eyes and mighty wings all furled,
In close embrace she holds sumbering world.
